I am senior director of Teaching and Learning with Technology, a unit of Information Technology Services. TLT focuses on teaching and learning, and we deal not just with labs and classrooms -- where learning occurs -- but with the many ways in which technology can support learning inside and outside the classroom. I am past chair of the CIC's Learning Technologies initiative. I chair Penn State's e-Education Council, a group that encourages and supports innovative uses of technology in teaching and learning. I play an active role in efforts to re-design high-enrollment, high-impact general education courses; these efforts have been generously supported by grants from the Pew Learning and Technology Program, the Mellon Foundation, and the AT&T Foundation.
In the Faculty Senate, I serve on the Computing and Information Systems Committee. I serve on the boards of several national or industry groups: the National Information Standards Organization, the National Center for Academic Transformation, the IMS Global Learning Consortium, and Adobe.
